Chapter 8 Find the Difference and Make a Bet
The Ye family's family banquet should have been lively, but because of Ye Ningwan's arrival, it was lifeless.

Seeing that everyone was silent, the eldest aunt rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Dad, you see that Xuan'er came home today and brought so many gifts, she is still sensible. I don't know what Ning Wan brought back to honor you? Ningwan, you also take out the home gift you brought, let us learn more."

The rules of Jiangcheng.

When a daughter is married from her natal family, it is natural to bring a generous dowry.

When the daughter returns home three days after her marriage, the husband's family should also prepare for the return ceremony.

Generally, the richer the dowry of the natal family, the richer the return gift prepared by the husband's family.

Ye Ninghou sneered, when she got married, the Ye family didn't even prepare the bedding for her, and they expected her to bring back the door ceremony?

"Ningwan, you must be unprepared! But you have no parents since you were young, and you didn't grow up with us, so it's fine if you don't know the rules. It's just that the Zhan family... why don't you even know the rules? Is it possible? , Are you dissatisfied with you?" The eldest aunt covered her mouth and laughed.

The others also looked at Ye Ninghou gloatingly.

She was still wearing a veil after eating, so she didn't know how ugly she was, that was because of Zhan Hanjue's bad reputation.But in his heart, he definitely didn't like her.

Zhan Hanjue frowned slightly, he didn't expect the Ye family to bully an orphan girl like this.

"Butler Wu, bring up the return ceremony." Zhan Hanjue ordered coldly.

"Yes."

Butler Wu immediately called the outsiders in, and presented the return gifts one by one for the Ye family to see.

Create an exquisite eight-piece gold jewelry set, a half-meter-high Jade Guanyin, a green and transparent jade Ruyi, and an antique painted heart-shaped vase from the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Mr. Ye is an antique collector.

That's all, this antique vase caught his eye, it's in such a good condition, and it's well preserved, it's very valuable and rare to see.

And other objects made others look straight.

The eldest aunt didn't care about being severely slapped in the face, and quickly smiled obsequiously: "This is all a gift for us? Mr. Zhan, you are too polite. As expected of the richest man in Jiangcheng, you are generous."

"Auntie was joking," Ye Ninghou said softly, "These are homecoming gifts prepared by the Zhan family, but our Ye family has no dowry. How can we accept the homecoming gifts from the Zhan family? People know the rules, our Ye family can't be looked down upon by others. Butler Wu, put away all the things, be careful if you break them, and you'll have to take them back later."

"Yes, young mistress." Butler Wu respectfully agreed, and waved his hand to let the things be taken back.

"This……."

"Third sister, other things are fine, but grandpa likes to collect antiques the most. Why don't you leave that antique vase as a gift to grandpa. Presumably, Mr. Zhan won't object." Ye Xuan asked for the vase for old man Ye. He looked at Zhan Hanjue with affection in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, Zhan Hanjue said: "I have no objection, but I have never cared about these small matters in the house, and my wife will take full responsibility for it."

Ye Ningwan's beautiful eyes curved: "Second sister is really filial, but grandpa has a lot of collections, so I don't think such a vulgar thing will be rare."

Grandpa Ye's face turned blue with anger.

Why doesn't he care?
It's almost rare.

But at his age, he doesn't have the face to ask for it from the younger generation, not to mention that he really didn't prepare anything for this girl.

Ye Xuan was teased, and her expression was very bad.

However, she quickly came up with a plan and looked at Zhan Hanjue with a smile: "Mr. Zhan, our Ye family misunderstood the rumors before and didn't think carefully. If we knew that Mr. Zhan is such a talent, we would definitely not put the ugly three My younger sister married. There are several other girls in our Ye family, Mr. Zhan might as well take a look."

After finishing speaking, he deliberately puffed out his plump chest and showed what he thought was the most beautiful smile.

Lin Yuyang's face turned blue with anger, but it was inconvenient to attack in front of everyone, so he could only clenched his fists resentfully.

Ye Ya from the second uncle's family was only 17 years old, she was so ashamed when she heard Ye Xuan say that, she couldn't help but blushed and lowered her head.

The eldest aunt was extremely excited, and immediately pushed her daughter towards Zhan Hanjue: "Mr. Zhan, this is my daughter Chen Nuomi. She is the same age as Ning Wan, and she is much prettier than Ning Wan."

If she is married to the Zhan family, wouldn't those return gifts be hers?
Zhan Hanjue said coldly: "I think everyone has forgotten that I have eye disease, beauty and ugliness are meaningless to me."

"..."

Ye Xuan was very annoyed, how could she just look at his face, forgot that he was blind, and spent a long time posing for nothing.

"Besides, I don't think Ningwan is ugly." Zhan Hanjue held Ye Ningwan's hand in public.

Ye Ninghou's hand was smooth and slender, and it was warm and cool in it, like a piece of fine jade.

At the moment when he grasped it, Zhan Hanjue's heart seemed to be gently slid by a feather, and it was slightly itchy.

But Ye Xuan snorted coldly, sowing discord: "Mr. Zhan, you can't see it, so don't be fooled by some people. She wears a veil on her face to hide her ugly appearance. Even if you don't care, you should For the sake of the next generation."

"That's right, Mr. Zhan, Ningwan has been ugly since she was a child, and our whole family knows it. My daughter Nuomi is really beautiful. If you don't believe me, you can let your housekeeper see it and tell you." The eldest aunt also said impatiently.

"Auntie, how many years have you not seen me? You dare say you know the word. Second sister, is it necessarily ugly to wear a veil? Where did you come up with this fallacy? It's really funny and absurd." Ye Ning You rudely snapped back.

Ye Xuan's eyes widened: "Ye Ninghou, you are so bold. Since you are so bold, why don't you take off the veil. Seeing is believing, let us all see how beautiful you really are."

"That's unnecessary. I'm going home to attend a family banquet, not a beauty contest. I'm afraid that if I take off the veil, it will make you feel ashamed." Ye Ningwan said in a friendly tone.

Ye Xuan was going to explode in anger, she stood up immediately and yelled: "Ye Ningwan, you dare to say such brazen words, you must pick them today."

"Picking is also fine, but Second Sister, why don't we place a bet." Ye Ningwan suggested.

"Bet? Bet on what?"

"If everyone thinks that Second Sister is more beautiful than me, I won't bring back any of the home gifts today, and give them all to Second Sister."

"Really? You mean what you say, don't go back on your word." Ye Xuan yelled before she finished speaking, for fear that she would go back on her word.

"Of course I mean what I say. My husband has already said that I will be in charge of the affairs of the inner house, isn't that my husband?" Ye Ningwan looked at Zhan Hanjue with a beautiful smile.

Zhan Hanjue had a sullen face and did not speak.

But if he doesn't object, it means he agrees.

"But Second Sister, if everyone thinks that I am more beautiful than Second Sister, Second Sister will always place some bets, that's only fair." Ye Ninghou said again.

Ye Xuan snorted coldly: "Okay, what do you want me to do?"

There is no strict boundary between beauty and ugliness, and everyone has their own eyes. No matter how you look at it, there are more people on her side than on Ye Ninghou's side.

As long as everyone is on her side, what can Ye Ninghou do?
"I only want one thing, the carved peony jade pendant in the second sister's dowry."
